It's Time (a Green Day Fanfic Sequel)

Chapter 1 - Not So Alone

I'm running out of things to do. A pregnant woman can only have so much fun without alcohol. It's only been a couple of weeks since Billie left on his tour but I'm going insane. Not only am I bored, but I am extremely lonely. His mother, Ollie, comes around about 3 times a week to check on me and I talk to Billie every day. But, I need someone else. Like, a gal pal or something. Not only that, but I don't want to go to my doctor's appointment alone. I'm not a wimp, it's just that hospitals and clinics kinda depress me and being depressed by myself scares me. My appointment is in a couple of hours and there's only one person I think to call.

"Hello?" comes the all familiar voice I was hoping to hear. Adrienne.

"Hey, it's me Cam." I replied.

"Oh, Cam! Hi! How are you feeling? I bet you're missing Billie. I know how you feel, I used to miss him too. It's hard, and you never quite get used to it, but once you have the twins, it'll all be better because you'll be with little people that look just like him. It's like he's not even gone."

"Yeah. Hey listen, I know this may seem weird but I don't really know who else to ask but, um, would you mind coming with me to my appointment today?"

"Oh, hun. I would love to come. I've got nothing to do anyways and I know how you're feeling. When's the appointment?"

"4:15." It's 2 o'clock now.

"Ok, dear. I'll be over in a little bit to pick you up."

"Thank you so much, Adrienne. You don't know how much this means to me."

"I'm honored that would ask, so don't mention it. Billie would be overjoyed to see our blooming friendship."

"I'm sure he would."

"Ok,  hun. Well I have a few things to do, but I'll see you in a bit."

"Ok, bye."

"Goodbye." And she hung up.

That was less awkward than I thought. It's still a little weird to me though. My husband's ex-wife taking me to a doctor's appointment for babies that were conceived not even a month after they got divorced. She doesn't seem to think of it as weird. I should call Billie and see if he thinks it's weird.

I looked at the clock above the door in the kitchen and remembered that Billie and the guys were actually on stage right now. He's in New York. My home. I walked into the living room where I kept my computer open and hooked up to the tv. I kept it on almost all the time because they send me live feed from the concerts. Every single one. Whether I'm watching or not. Sure enough, the tv showed Billie screaming into the microphone singing Bouncing off the Walls. Every so often he would make eye contact with the camera and wink.

It seems I missed most of the concert because they were wrapping it up with their slower songs now. The camera was directly in the middle now, and Billie was staring it down. He was staring at me and I him, and I knew he knew I was. He sat on a stool that was brought on stage for him and an acoustic guitar.

"This song goes out to three special people, although only one of you can actually hear it." He said to the crowd, breaking eye contact for a moment. "I love you all." And he started playing Last Night on Earth. I sang along with him and danced myself around the living room.

This was the first time he did this, and I felt all of my loneliness drift away like this virtual serenade was what I needed. And it was exactly what I needed.

He finished singing and then said his farewells and thank yous before singing Ordinary World to really end the show. The camera guy followed Billie offstage and once there, Billie kissed the camera.

"I love you babe." He said, and he turned the camera off.

Not moments later, he called me.

"I love you too." I answered.

"So you were watching, then?" He asked.

"I always do. I would never miss one of your shows."

"I know. I did that second last song because today is your doctors appointment and I wanted you to know how much I love you."

"Well, I love you too. About my appointment, guess who's going to go with me?"

"My mom?"

"No. Adrienne. I called her and asked and she said she'd be delighted. Do you think it's weird?" There was silence for a moment and I knew he was thinking.

"Of course it's not weird. It's perfect that you two are getting along so well. You girls can become like 'besties' or something." I giggled at him trying to sound hip.

"Don't ever say that again. You can't pull it off." He chuckled a bit too. "And yeah, I like the idea of becoming friends. She can give me advice and tips."

"You don't need tips, you're going to be a wonderful mother."

"Not tips on how to raise children. Tips on how to raise you."

He laughed at my answer, but it was soon replaced with a sigh. "Well love, I gotta go. We have to pack up and then get ready for our interview tomorrow. You'll be watching right?"

"I promise. I love you too much to not watch it."

"I love you too, Cammy."

And I hung up before the conversation dragged any further than it needed. As much as I love the man, he has work to do and being on the phone won't get it done. I couldn't wait to until after the interview. Today's appointment was a special one and the news I would learn would be news I'd want to share with him but I was waiting for the perfect time where we would have all the time in the world to talk about it.

I got a text from Adrienne telling me she was here and waiting in the driveway. I grabbed my keys and left the house to go meet her.
